Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out INS study of the hydrogenolysis of 4-methylphenol on Pt, Pd and Ru-loaded Nb2O5 catalysts for lignin conversion. This proposed study will...

The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The...

The (NH4)0.02 Rbx K0.98-x I system offers advantages for the systematic study of tunnelling species and how they interact. Currently there are two models to explain the dynamics...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...

We have recently prepared a new strontium ruthenate, SrRu2O6, using hydrothermal chemistry. The material shows magnetic order, probably ferromagnetic, than persists above, and...

In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high...

Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties...

We have shown that under certain conditions multilayer adsorption of surfactants occurs at the air-water interface. in which case the system becomes a powerful wetting agent (it...

We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method...

Conventional ways to administer and deliver drugs have reached its limitations. These methods can be still used for small and simple molecules. However, new carriers have to be...

The hyperhoneycomb lattice can be viewed as a 3D version of the 2D honeycomb and the new magnetic compound [(C2H5)3NH]2Cu2(C2O4)3 provides a rare example. Honeycomb type...

Oxidation of lipid membranes is widely known to play a crucial role in many cellular processes and pathological conditions such as apoptosis, inflammation, infection, or sepsis,...

We propose to study hydride ion diffusion in AEH2 (AE = Ca and Ba) using the QENS technique. We have recently demonstrated that the charge carrier in these materials are hydride...

In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of...

In recent high pressure experiments (S. Klotz et al., Nature Materials, DOI 10.1038/ NMAT2422, 23.4.2009) we discovered a salt hydrate based on a high-pressure ice form, i.e....

The aim of the present proposal is to investigate the mechanism of CO oxidation over hydrous palladium oxide, both directly and indirectly. For the direct route, the sample will...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

We propose to measure the spin excitation spectrum in cuprate superconductor, La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) at x=0.19. Our aim is to resolve the doping dependence of the 18 meV spin...
